This is the first relationship type that you assign to the category.
This has the following effects in product maintenance:

relationship type, all relationship types allowed for the product type
concerned are displayed in product maintenance.
Once relationship types are assigned to a product category, only these
are displayed in product maintenance.

Once the first relationship type is assigned to a product category this
may result in other relationship types no longer being displayed in
product maintenance, even though they may have already been assigned to
the product. Assign these relationship types to the category as well.
